Extended revenue stream on endgame phase.

Post » Sun Feb 14, 2016 1:29 am

Current only monetization model of this FOS game is selling the Lunchbox, that gives great boost and help to player in early stage of vault. With few Lunchbox in early game stage, success of the vault become much easier.


But as the vault room and population getting larger and developed, maintaining vault become rather easier, so the need or impact of Lunchbox become smaller and smaller.


So most Lunchbox are purchase on early stage of vault. Player hardly buy more Lunchbox once vault pass some early development phase.


This is not good for both business and game itself in long run. There must be some need to spend money even at late stage of game.


Endgame objectives like collecting all the legendary dwellers or weapons are not enough. It is too fringe.


I suggest decoration to the rooms. The decoration will not have much practical value in game play. But see games like Farmville, where players pay huge amount of real money to decorate their virtual farm.


There should be more challenge and more way to continue spending money on this game at later stage of this game.

Yes, please.




NO



And please don't compare this to Farmvile (yea, took out the 2nd l on purpose). That's not even a game, and it's dead btw.

I concur, Farmville is not game per se, but the fact has nothing to do with my suggestion. I am not suggesting that FOS should become Farmville-like social game. Paid decoration option is widely accepted free-to-play game fearure.


Farmville may be dead by now. But similar Hay Day game by Supercell is one of the current top-grossing game on mobile platform.


I like to decorate my vault and rooms with various post-apocalypse/Fallout themed artifacts. I like to have pets. I like to change backdrop of various production rooms.


I am more than willing to spend hard earned my money to decorate my vault. Please take my money.
